Roll Out The Red Carpet (Again). FOX Is Bringing Celebrities To The WWE Draft, Including Hollywood And The Sports World.

This could go a lot of ways. Last week, SmackDown moved from USA over to FOX in one of the biggest moves that WWE has ever been able to make. The move made SmackDown the top weekly television show in wrestling by default, but it also offered a variety of resources from FOX. This includes FOX Sports’ vast celebrity lineup and you will be seeing them sooner rather than later.

FOX has issued a press release announcing a wide range of celebrities appearing on the SmackDown broadcast. These celebrities will be playing various roles on the show, including offering analysis on the picks. There are a wide variety of sports and entertainment names on the list, including Chris Spielman, a former NFL player who appeared at WrestleMania 11. Here is the list from WWE.com, which promises that more names could be coming:

Kevin Burkhardt and Frank Thomas — FOX MLB analysts
Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson and Tony Gonzalez — FOX NFL Sunday
Ronde Barber, Charles Davis, Chris Spielman and Daryl Johnston — FOX NFL analysts
Charissa Thompson, Michael Vick and Peter Schrager — FOX NFL Kickoff
Rob Stone, Brady Quinn, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart and Urban Meyer — Big Noon Kickoff
Joel Klatt — FOX College Football analyst
Dulé Hill of USA’s “Psych” and “Suits”
James Roday of “Psych”
Marcus Lemonis of “The Profit”
Margaret Josephs and Melissa Gorga of “Real Housewives of New Jersey”
Rodney Harrison and Chris Simms — Football Night in America
Rebecca Lowe, Robbie Mustoe and Kyle Martino — Premier League Live

There are a lot of options for the Draft. Check out WWE’s preview:

Opinion: I’m not sure how this is going to go and that has me worried. Non-wrestling celebrities have a history of not being the best in the world at talking about wrestling. That means we could be in for a long night of celebrities reading off scripts or saying things that add nothing to the entire show. This could be rather interesting, but I’m not sure if it is going to be in a good way.

How do you see the Draft going? Will the celebrities help things? Let us know in the comments below.
